J.M. Keynes and the History of Probability

J.M. Keynes and the History of Probability

Francisco Javier Aristimuño

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
John Maynard Keynes is best known for his contributions to economics, yet he spent nearly two decades exploring the concept of probability. His extensive work culminated in A Treatise on Probability (1921), in which he developed a unique notion of probability that continues to divide scholars regarding its relevance to economic theory.This book delves into the connections between Keynes’s ideas on probability and those of early Enlightenment philosophers, such as Locke, Leibniz, and Hume, who worked on probability before mathematicians claimed ownership over the subject. These authors framed probability as a substitute for knowledge when it is not available. Keynes extended these ideas and engaged directly with Hume on inductive reasoning, placing his concept of probability within a broader philosophical tradition. By tracing these Enlightenment roots, this book provides deeper insight into Keynes’s understanding of probability, clarifying some of the key differences with the subjective approach due to Ramsey and De Finetti. It also summarises the aspects on which probability theory and its corresponding notion of uncertainty are crucial for Keynes’s economic thought, particularly in his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.This book is addressed to readers interested in the philosophy of probability and offers economists a fuller understanding of Keynes’s intellectual framework.

J.M. Coetzee's Austerities

J.M. Coetzee's Austerities

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
Representing a wide range of critical and theoretical perspectives, this volume examines J.M. Coetzee's novels from Dusklands to Diary of a Bad Year. The choice of essays reflects three broad goals: aligning the South African dimension of Coetzee's writing with his "late modernist" aesthetic; exploring the relationship between Coetzee's novels and his essays on linguistics; and paying particular attention to his more recent fictional experiments. These objectives are realized in essays focusing on, among other matters, the function of names and etymology in Coetzee's fiction, the vexed relationship between art and politics in apartheid South Africa, the importance of film in Coetzee's literary sensibility, Coetzee's reworkings of Defoe, the paradoxes inherent in confessional narratives, ethics and the controversial politics of reading Disgrace, intertextuality and the fictional self-consciousness of Slow Man. Through its pronounced emphasis on the novelist's later work, the collection points towards a narrato-political and linguistic reassessment of the Coetzee canon.

Published to coincide with the 250th anniversary of Turner’s birth, J.M.W. Turner’s ‘The Battle of Trafalgar’: Commemoration and Controversy explores the compelling history of Turner’s largest painting and his only royal commission. The Battle of Trafalgar is one of the most famous pictures in the collection of Royal Museums Greenwich, yet its story is surprisingly complex. This book charts the painting’s tumultuous journey, from the challenges that Turner faced during its creation and the storm of criticism that greeted its unveiling to its eventual place at the centre of a national art collection. J.M.W. Turner’s ‘The Battle of Trafalgar’: Commemoration and Controversy is part of the Royal Museums Greenwich Spotlight series, accessible introductions to some of the most intriguing objects in the collection.

Disgrace by JM Coetzee Book Analysis, Summary, Themes, Essay Questions, and MoreIntroduction to the Book'JM Coetzee s Disgrace and Racism in Post-Apartheid South Africa' is a short, comprehensive, and critical study of 'Disgrace', a novel by J. M. Coetzee, which won him the Booker Prize. For students seeking comprehensive study aids, look no further than this ultimate study guide It offers an array of useful features, such as detailed chapter-by-chapter summaries, character lists with descriptions, post-colonial analysis of the novel, explanations of all important themes, motifs, and symbols, important questions, and over 10 academic essays. Whether you're trying to ace an exam or gain a deeper understanding of the material, this study guide has got you covered. While the subject of racism in post-apartheid South Africa, as explored by Coetzee in "Disgrace," deserves its own separate study, there is a dearth of such material available to graduate and undergraduate students. That's why the author wrote "JM Coetzee s Disgrace and Racism in Post-Apartheid South Africa," a well-researched and comprehensive study of the novel. It is hoped that this book will be of great help to students studying J.M. Coetzee's "Disgrace." The novel itself is rife with examples of "double-blind racism," where both blacks and whites are victimized and act as perpetrators of violence. To find the answers to questions about this complex topic, dive into the book and explore it for yourself. About the AuthorShafqat Mushtaq holds masters in English Literature from the University of Kashmir. He is the author of Blossoms from Elsewhere, Defy Odds and Be Unstoppable, and Modernism in TS Eliot s The Wasteland, and is published frequently in leading English dailies of Kashmir.

J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History

J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History

Leo Costello

Routledge
2016
nidottu
J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History is an in-depth consideration of the artist's complex response to the challenge of creating history paintings in the early nineteenth century. Structured around the linked themes of making and unmaking, of creation and destruction, this book examines how Turner's history paintings reveal changing notions of individual and collective identity at a time when the British Empire was simultaneously developing and fragmenting. Turner similarly emerges as a conflicted subject, one whose artistic modernism emerged out of a desire to both continue and exceed his eighteenth-century aesthetic background by responding to the altered political and historical circumstances of the nineteenth century.

J.M. Robertson

Routledge
2018
sidottu
Published in 1998, J. M. Robertson: Rationalist and Literary Critic is a study of the life of one of the most erudite and prolific critics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Scotsman John MacKinnon Robertson (1856-1933), rationalist and enemy of religion to the core, published over one hundred books and thousands of articles in fields as diverse as sociology, economics, history, anthropology, biblical criticism and literary criticism. This once widely known (and feared!) author was all too quickly forgotten after his death and his work is now seldom read. The aim of this book is to demonstrate that Robertson’s writings and in particular his acute and powerful literary criticism – much respected by T. S. Eliot – have not lost their relevance for late twentieth century readers.Moreover, through the examinations of Robertson’s work in its contextual framework, this study provides a wide-ranging perspective on the late-Victorian literary scene, which perhaps present-day literary historians have not given the detailed attention it deserves.

J.M. Coetzee: Fictions of the Real

J.M. Coetzee: Fictions of the Real

Routledge
2017
sidottu
J.M. Coetzee has new things to say about this relation between the ‘real’ and ‘fictions of the real’, and while much has already been written about him, these questions need to be more fully explored. The contributions to this volume are drawn together by the idea of the hinge between the world (whether understood in ontological, bio-ethical, personal and interpersonal, or socio-political terms) and fictional representations of it (whether understood in epistemological, ficto-biographical, formal, or stylistic terms). In this collection, the question of understanding itself — how we understand or imagine our place in the world — is shown to be central to our conception of that world. That is, rather than beginning with forms developed in socio-political understandings, Coetzee’s works ask us to consider what role fiction might play in relation to politics, in relation to history, in relation to ethics and our understanding of human agency and responsibility. Coetzee has a profound interest in the methods through which we make sense of the contemporary world and our place in it, and his approach appeals to readers of fiction, critics and philosophers alike. The central problems he deals with in his fiction are of the kind that confront people everywhere and so involve a "translatability" that allow the works to maintain relevance across cultures. Added to this, though, his fiction makes us question the nature of understanding itself. This book was originally published as a special issue of Textual Practice.

J.M. Coetzee and the Archive

J.M. Coetzee and the Archive

Bloomsbury Academic
2021
sidottu
Making extensive use of the rich archival material contained within the Coetzee collections in Texas and South Africa, from the earliest drafts and notebooks to the research notes and digital records that document his later career as both writer and academic, this volume investigates the historical, cultural and aesthetic contexts of Coetzee's oeuvre. Cutting-edge and interdisciplinary in approach, the book looks both at the prolific archival traces of Coetzee's early and middle work as well as examines his more recent work (which has yet to be archived), and a wide range of materials beyond the manuscripts, including family albums, school notebooks and correspondence. Navigating Coetzee’s interests in areas as diverse as literature, photography, autobiography, philosophy, animals and embodied life, this is also an exploration of the archive as both theory and practice. It raises questions about the tensions, contradictions and discoveries of archival research, and suggests that a literary engagement with the past is crucial to a recovery of culture in the present.
